Love & Soul

Some people love and live with shadows
Standing behind them like dark strangers.
Shouting out love and life like they’re trying
To break through clouds that drowned them
In the distant past, an interior panorama of
Cold pain and ominous, hammering thunder.
Some feel shadows when they dream of love,
Knowing in their ignorance that tomorrow
Is a stranger in a long black limousine full
Of cold pain and silence like the dead night.
